During Trans+ History Week, activists emphasize the enduring presence of transgender individuals as a landmark UK Supreme Court ruling has sidelined trans rights within the definition of 'sex.' The repercussions of this ruling are significant, prompting protests and discussions about the treatment of trans people. The week's events featured prominent voices like Anthony Lexa and Abigail Thorn, who highlighted the importance of recognition and respect for trans identities. Activists express concerns over the media's portrayal of trans issues, emphasizing the necessity for ongoing dialogue and support amidst rising tensions.
It is incredibly important that everybody be reminded that trans people have always been with us and always will be with us, and the only real thing that's up for debate is whether we treat trans people with respect or we don't.
We're in a time where a lot of places, especially corporations [and] media outlets [are] going quiet. They don't want to seem too fixated or too obsessed with 'woke' things.
At the same time, you've got the right-wing press which are being incredibly loud and won't stop talking about [trans lives]. The message is skewing in a really negative direction.
